They have seen, with the greatest regret, the small assistance_ to the_ completing the ditch and battery of San Ferdinand ; and 'in the Edict of yesterday, again request the inhabitants not to put the Junta to the necessity of adopting measures Of severity. - • The regiment of La Patria, that was in garrison in this city, has received their complement of arms, and the assembling the militia is very active for the service of the place. By information recoived from Lisbon, we expeet eery moment 5000 men, whom the linglWi will bring here with eight sail of the line : we.also ex pett reinforcements from Gibraltar. The enemy, on the 7th, in the morning, were seen in full retreat to Puerto Real ; and, after that, in great numbers, they halted in the road of Puerto Real, in consequence of the fire of our gun-boats.— They, however, advanced under the shelter of battery del Comercio, during which time they fired with their muskets at our gun-boats, in answer-to our cannon. We have not learned the amount of the loss which they sustained. Another division of about 500 men passed to: the Exchange. on the same afternoon, with five pieces of flying artillery,,who took shelter in the warehouses, on account of the fire from the ship San Justo and the gun-boats. According to information that we have received from Elpuerto and Xeres, it appears that the enemy have not been able to repress their , true chara6ter, as they iiave begun their usual atrocities, torturing and persecuting the peaceful inhabitants.' This is the fe licity that they offer, and the unnatural children of the country, who are amongst them, have the auda city to join in their atrocities. Don Clemente Davila Barroso, Regidor Docano of the city of Cartaya, in a dispatch, dated the flth February, says as follows :—" With respe& to news, I have to say, that yesterday, the sth, ar rived here, a Captain to the Supreme Junta, in Ayamonte, dispatched by the Marquis Romana, with- official dispatches from him, that his advanced guard had reached Los Samos,. and that his army amounted to 70,000 men ; news of great consola tion ; and 15,000 more can be colleted in this We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of this account, though we are inclined to think it is true; and though it may not be so to its full extent, it is to be expected, if they will come into Andalusia, the enelDy will make a retrogade movement, to i : aving their retreat cut off. During the whole of yesterday, with short inter vals, we have witnessed the firing from our's and the English gun-boats, with the ship San Justo.-.- The enemy has not been seen in any one point. According to letters from the Island, the enemy has detached a. column of 1500 men to Chiclana they say, also, that there has been some skirmishing upon t4 : road of the Arrecife, in which the enemy sus- Wined sopw, loss. _ • The regiment of La Patrii, or native regiment, has gone to the Island. By order of Government, several maritime advice boats - have been established - East and West, for the purpose of corresponding with the towns not in possession of - the enemy. They are to sad Tuesdays and Saturdays. We have received intelligence from Madrid, up to the 17th ultituo; the enemy has completely united all his force, in order to invade Andalusia. In Madrid has been left only 1500 men in garrison, and 1000 at Tuledo. In Despenaperos they have left about 2000, and a strong detachment in the Carolinas. By the same advices it is known, that they have received no succours from France, and that General Blake is at Guadix, where he is cols lecting a great number of dispersed troops, who flock to him from all pans, with a great number of peasants. Echevarri also colletis great, numbers in the Sierra. We know be had a corps of aoo sharp shooiers of that country; with a body of troops of the line, which have joined him. EDICT. • The Supreme Junta of this Government obserVes, with the greatest sorrow, that the number of its in habitants that assist in the works of the batteries of Ferdinand, diminish in their exertions at a time of the greatest necessity and extremity; The ene- . my are at the gates of our Island, have threatened our surrender, and commenced 'hostilities against our soldiers and brethren. The Junta have answered with a • dignity worthy of the people whom they represent; and, it is necessary, in order to systain their dignity, that the people must co-operate and ans%ver to the vote of their representitives. Any other - course would be vain, and their efforts useless to the demandsof their aiieted country. Moved E by these corbiderations, they have called upon their neighbours to contribute, with thoir' indefatigable 'zeal, - and =daily assistance, to finiSh the important works. of the fortifications,. where the lines of the enemy will find their grave. The inhabitants 'of Cadiz, who have the greatest interest to proted• their wives, Weir children,.and their altars, impede this purpose, as they are to be found in the coffee houses, in the public walks and streets, in i state of inactivity, while the religious men and strangers do all in their power to assist in the works, which re quire all the assistance of the whole of the inhabi aanrs to finish so great a task ; yet, great is the num ber who amuse themselves in observing the firing of the enemy, and very few take any means to pre vent the enemy's fire from reaching our walls. Let us not be idle si:eeators of the evils which'threaten us, nor indifferent to the captivity that, our unfor tunate. neighbouring towns have suffered. Let us Tun 'to"work in the batteries, without distinction of classes. Let every man that is free from infirmity ll give his assistance, as the circumstances. of the' times require it. The Junta abstain, for the pre sent, from imposing compulsion, but, at the same time, they prepare the public mind against all those who will not answer to this last call. 'They will point out all tbose men who are capable of working and will be found in the public walks, and even 'in the streets. Such men. shall not be suffered to go unnoticed, and without reproach, as they will be considered as having it sin their power to work in the batteries, and still remain in the town, with out any urgent business. It is an artful enemy who threatens and • watches us, and it is necessary that Government without e!<cceding that modera tion which characterises it, should put in execu tirm proper and efficacious means • thr izs deftnce. There will he communicated to Commissaries ofDis triers the • necessary instructions to apprise their neighbours of their duty, that none may excuse trmselves from fulfilling it. ‘Bitt, in the mean time, and without prejudice to this order, they are invited, and are expected to cantrib-ute all the assist ance in their power, without any specific duty as signed. - - By Older of the Superior Junta, _MANUEL MARIE DE ARCE, SEC. Cadiz, Feb. 8, 009. CI RCULAR. The distria of this city, comprising the Royal- Island of Leon, sees itself surrounded by an enemy, who seeks to arnica it ‘.s ith the greatest distress, with respect to the 'scarcity of provisions, coals, wood, and other articles of the first necessity, by cutting off the means to enable them to penetrate its walls. -,-Cadiz, firm in her principles,- is not capable of succumbing under such vile efforts. It is resolved to eternize its defence by the chastisement of her enemies. In order to effect her purpose, it is ne-, cessary that all the provinces, and particularly the sea-port towns, shoyild endeavour to send, by water, all-kinds of provisions and fire-wood that they can collect. Such is the ex:ortation of Cadiz to all her kindred towns, which ore so much interested in the conservation of this city so important to the Monarchy. Lastly, they expect that your-Excel lency will contribute, with all your power, to 'stimu late all farmers • and merchants within your jurisdic tion, and inform them, that, for whatever they shall bring, they shall be paid in current money upon delivery of their goods, and that their crews and car goes shall not sutler the slightest hindrance orintoles tation. God preserve your Excellency many years.' Cadiz, Feb. 6, ORDER OF GOVERNMENT. . The maser bakers shall give in an account of the servants and journeymen who will •not assist in the performance of their duty ; for it would not be just that persons neglecting their real business, should throw away their leisure time to the loss and the prejudice of the public cause.--The Government cannot see with indifference the' smallest abuse in this particulaf, and makes the masters responsible for all the negligence of their servopts. Let this order be pdSted up in every how* of business. (Signed) RUIZ and ZULETA. Cadiz, Feb. 7, 1840. The following is an extrao of a Private Letter re. ceived by the Lisbon Mail : ‘‘ LISBON FEB. 18.—The alarm occasioned here by the late trnfbrtunate occurrences in Spain, and particularly the entrance of the French into Seville, has entirely subsided. We are row all in high spi rits on learning that Cadiz still holds out, and is likely to baffle the efforts of the enemy. Our let ters from thence are of the gth..inst. at which time the brave Albuquerque was ot;trenched on the banks of the' river that divides the Island of Leon - from the main land. The bridge Sttaco had been 'broken down, and the ;mope were determined to defend the • passage, which if unfortunately forced, the troops can in that case retire within the walls of the city and the different castles. " Some of the enemy's light troops have made their appearance on our south-eastern frontiers ; but we are by no means uneasy on that account. I have this moment seen an Officer who arrived with dis patches from Romana to Lord Werfingtun. He tells me that the Marquis's activity is beyond any thi ng of the kind he .ever before witnessed. He has al ready colie&ed 30,000 troops, and the people at Badajoz almost. adore him. He is-up day and night ; has sent troops and provisions into the Castle of San Miguel, and appointed a new Governor, who has sworn not to surrender it while a gun remains mounted on its ramparts. In a word,.he has given new life to us, for as long a s we are secure in t h at quarter, we are under no fear as ,to the North, where Lord Wellington with the British army, and Marshal Beresford with the native troops, are sta tioned. “. A Gentleman who left Seville at eight o'clock in the morning of the Bth instant, 'has reached this city. I have seen him, and he states, that up to that time the French, had not entered Seville, as the Duke of Albuquerque, with his army,, -had come ,down from Cadiz, and completely obstrucled the advance of the enemy, King Joseph, he asserts, was at Ecija, with a pi tiful force'ot not more than 6000 men, and great hopes were indulged of cutting him. off in his re treat; which he must necessarily commence on . the approach of the Spaniards." It is said that the Duke of Albuquerque has since occupied Seville. Jt is observed in'some our letters, that the• French have made an inroad on the sodth' side of Portugal With an army of 20,000 men. The dire6ion of this ,body- of troops towards the Guadiana will, in some measure, account for the appearance of the Doke of Albuquerque in the city of StNille, whew he can probably make an effectual stand against the remain. ing farces of the enemy in that A jeweller of considerable no:ei near Bond-street, was informed a few day since, 'that his contidentiA shopman had been often seen of: late at public places, elegantly dresse - d, in company with a well known Lady of fashion, of the west end of the tnwn ; and there being reason to suspect that the funds which supported •his pleasures were drawn from his master's till, the foll•)wing plan was adopt ed 19r his detthion person, not known to the shopman„went to the shop, and purchasing some articles,, paid ter them with money which had been previously marked, and the master going to the till soon -after, missed two of the marked guineas; upon whiCh he asked the shopman to lend him what cash he had about him, -when amongst 'other money which he produced, were the two marked guineas. Upon this discovery the master sent for the friend who had marked the money, and in his prese'rice charged the delinquent_ with having de frauded him, which, after some tva•iion,:.he con fessed having done at'different times to the ;mount of near pool. about 701. of which he had in his pos sessism ; ,and on ltis giving up that . •srun, he was suffered to depart, _ z!Fr':7 7 FASHIONS FOR LADIES. rnom ACKERIVIANN ' S REPOSITORY OF ARTS FASHIONS, MANUFACTURES, •SZU BALL Drt tss.—A plain slip of white gossatner satin, with short sleeves and square bosom.

ARBITK% ELZGAN/I&RU!A: AGRICULTURAL REPORT for FEBRUARY The severe frosty weather of this month, and the latter end of last, has made great havoc in the vee table tribe. So much' destruction in so short a space of time had not occurred for many years, imrtibuk;rly in the brassica; where the hardy-kale, a native of a northern clime, has been nearly all destroyed.. The turnips have suffered much where,they tipple a good deal above the surface, and where-the crops • . were sown broad cast. Those that were drilled, - and the mould drawn over the bulbs with the hoe, are nearly all saved. That great foliage-bearing plant, the thou,;and headed cabbage, is totally destroyed. But neither of the species of the Swedish turnip is injured; they will be found of great service for the Spring. The young wheats are at a complete stand, owing to the severity of the season. , All :he.ditferent employments that an enlightened and improving farmer finds so indispensably nerei, sary iu frosty weather, hate been cnrried 011 With great sprit and facility, particularly draining, Ma nuring, and inclosing.
